slacker mama eats...bulkogi

On Sunday night, we had Bulkogi for dinner. It's a Korean dish that we've been having in my family for years. Even my uber-picky sister ate this dish. The girls eat this...John loves it. Not only that, it's really easy to make, even on a weeknight! And because it uses flank steak, it's pretty economical *and* lean.

Score!

I just typed it up for my cousin, Marguerite, so I figured I'd let you in on a delish new dish to try...

Bulkogi
This is enough marinade for one flank steak...double/triple depending on how many you are cooking.

1/3 c soy sauce
2 green onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 T sugar
2 T vinegar, sake or sherry wine (I use vinegar)
1 T sesame oil
3 (or more dashes) cayenne pepper

Mix marinade and pour over a scored flank steak (I dump it in a ziploc baggie). Let marinade overnight or for at least a few hours.

Grill the steak to your desired doneness. Allow to rest and slice against the grain.

Boil the marinade for at least 3 minutes. Use this as a sauce for the steak.

We served this with Joy of Cooking's basmatti rice pilaf (which is super easy and delish) and green beans.

Bon apetit!
